There's a good line hiding here about mustard stains and "trickle-down" economics but I can't put my finger on it. Even in good times I never spied too many economists behind the tables at a card show. In many retail businesses that are inventory driven much of their profit is sitting in inventory build, if you are sitting on what this thread is calling common prewar stuff there is really only one way to pull out the profit and that is mark it down. If you don't need to that's another story.
